There is no experience on the ROSHYDROMET products as Elektro-L N1 is currently not imaging. The CMA FY-2E Atmospheric Motion Vectors have been assimilated experimentally. Regarding the ISRO INSAT-3D AMVs, initial indications are that the winds are of good quality.
Based on the EUMETSAT analysis of the CGMS partners’ capacities presented in section 4 and on bilateral discussions held with international partners, EUMETSAT presented a possible scenario for the continuation of the IODC services beyond 2016 to its Council in November 2014. This scenario would be to rely in the future on the operational capability provided by ISRO (INSAT-3D at 82°E and INSAT-3DR / DS at 74°E) and by CMA (FY-2E and follow-on at 86.5°E). Such a constellation would become available by the end of 2015, once FY-2E has been repositioned at 86.5°E. Once Elektro-L N2 is launched and successfully commissioned, this could also be added to the overall constellation. In addition, in the 2016 timeframe, Meteosat-8 might be repositioned around 40°E, to support the acquisition of images in the Western part of the Indian Ocean. This intermediate position would overlap with other satellites, maximising opportunities of cross-calibration, and increasing the robustness/resilience of the IODC mission thanks to international cooperation. Should Meteosat-8 be relocated to 40°E, then the DCS, currently using Meteosat-7 could easily be moved to Meteosat-8. The EUMETSAT Council agreed that EUMETSAT further study the relocation of Meteosat-8 to 40°E, with the understanding that the remaining Meteosat satellites are capable of supporting the EUMETSAT Baseline operational services. In the nominal MSG-4 schedule, such a decision by the EUMETSAT Council can be expected in June 2016.
Based on the above, EUMETSAT is proposing to CGMS a scenario and a timeline for IODC services after 2016 with associated actions. This scenario is proposed for endorsement under the following assumptions. Assumptions:
Proposed scenario
Dissemination of CGMS Satellite data and products via EUMETCast and the GTS. Further Meteosat-8 data access mechanisms for CGMS partners will be discussed during the WG III meeting.
